A CBC Toronto report on a Leslieville couple contains their stunning allegation that their modest semi-detached home on Connaught Ave. was sold against their wishes. The allegation is made by the man, Harold Verge, 72, that he and his wife were told by a real estate agent that they were not permitted to own property over the age of 65. Mr. Verge is blind. His wife is retired from McDonald’s. The home was sold for some $675,000, an apparent bargain for the buyer. The entire catalogue of events as reported by the CBC descends from there. The story is the subject of much interest on the Leslievillian Facebook page.
